General Cuteness

These are some cute pictures from Ellen's. Taylor has so much fun with her friends. :)

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Blake and Diane threw a surprise party for my 30th birthday. It was a lot of fun for everyone who went and for the kids. We all had a great time. Here are some pictures of us at the party. Take note of Taylor carrying my purse around... so sassy!

Potty Time!

Well, Taylor is starting the potty training process! I know it seems early, but she initiated it, so we were happy to go ahead and try to get her out of diapers. She goes at Ellen's and here. Whenever she goes, we clap and yay and sing the teetee on the potty song. The things I find myself doing nowdays...

Shoes!

Here are some pictures of Taylor wearing my shoes again. She loves to wear our shoes and she can say it very well, too. She also gets upset if her shoes get dirty!!

Just cute

These are just some cute pictures of Taylor being a little climber. She has fun trying to get into all kinds of chairs. Under this particular chair, she tends to find stray dog fur that the vacuum missed, or dust bunnies, or whatever (we really do have a relatively clean house!) and brings it to me and says "Yucky!" Every time she finds a "yucky" she brings it to me to throw away. It is hilarious.

Watermelon is Delicious

This kid loves her watermelon! We had some on Friday night and by Monday, it was off limits because she had eaten so much, she had gotten a pretty bad diaper rash. But she had fun while it lasted. Just look at that face!

Bag Girl

Well, Taylor is still hauling bags around everywhere she goes. Just another example... You think I had anything to do with her obsession?? Surely not! And as soon as she sees the camera- she's cheese ball Taylor. "Take a picture of ME, Mommy!", "Let me pose real quick." I know that's what she's thinking... nce again... I wonder where she gets it?!?!

Bubbos

Taylor pics in the tub with tons of "bubbos". This is only one of MANY words she is saying now. Her vocabulary has increased 1000% in the last month. It is amazing! She will repeat almost anything. She can ask for specific foods (gapes- grapes, dink- drink, mikk- milk, ice ceem- ice cream, pacake- pancake, pissa- pizza)) the list goes on and on. She is singing her alphabet- a lot of it, anyway, "Twinkle Twinkle," "Itsy Bitsy Spider," all of the "hurrah's" in "Ants go marching," and all of the "Me's" in "Jesus Loves Me." She can say all of her friends' names extremely well. Isabelle is "Isobeow", Marshall is almost perfect, and she was screaming "RYAN!" over at Amber and Peter's any time she wanted to play with him and she couldn't find him. Taylor is also a master at saying "Sit down!", "Go away," and "No Noodle!" (Noodle is Lexie's nickname) I am really amazed at how much she is learning so fast!
